Replacing the worn collars and cuffs on your dress shirts

We all have dress shirts that we don't wear cluttering up the
nether reaches of our closets.

These include shirts with collars and cuffs that are worn,
frayed at the edges, discolored
beyond restoration, shrunken, fabric shined by the dry cleaner,
hard pressed by the dry cleaner, or otherwise damaged in some
manner.

In many cases, however, these shirts have bodies and sleeves
that are in relatively good condition.

So the question is this ...

Why relegate your fine bespoke, custom, made to measure or even
off the rack shirts to the status of "unwearable" just because of
the poor condition of the collars and cuffs?

Why not consider refurbishing your fine dress shirts by
replacing the collars and cuffs with a brand set of high quality,
white collars and cuffs? And, in the process, extend the life of
your fine dress shirts for a few more years at a fraction of the
cost of a new, similarly branded shirt.

It makes no difference whether those shirts are white, pastel,
colored, plaid, striped or textured. And no difference whether the
shirts have barrel cuffs (regular cuffs) or french cuffs (double
cuffs).

Bottom line: we can replace the collars and cuffs on any
non-buttoned down dress shirt.

Sizes offered

Collars: 14 through 20, including all half sizes in between.

Regular or barrel cuffs: 9-1/2, 10, 10-1/2, 11 and 11-3/8

French or double cuffs: 10-1/4, 10-3/4, 11-1/4 and 11/3/4

As many of the shirts we refurbish are bespoke, custom or made
to measure, we match the sizes of your collars and cuffs to the
nearest size listed above, erring, where necessary, on the next
larger size. For example, if your barrel cuff currently measures
10-7/8, we will use a size 11 cuff (not a 10-1/2).

Our average turnaround is 3 weeks. While we have most of the
more common sizes in stock, we occasionally run out and need to
await replenishment of our inventory. If your shirts require an
uncommon size, we may have to custom order the collars and cuffs
for your shirts.

Here are two examples -- after laundering and hand
pressing -- of a colored shirt and a white shirt with the
collars and cuffs replaced:
